Our floating debris booms are engineered for performance in moving and open water conditions. Each model uses large floats, reinforced cables, and deep skirts to maintain stability in moderate currents. With twelve standard options available and custom solutions upon request, we tailor containment systems to match your site’s specific challenges. These containment booms are ideal for use in rivers, bays, lakes, harbors, and tidal zones locations where effective debris control is essential. Common uses include protecting water treatment inlets, managing floating waste in canals, and supporting spill response efforts. Built for high buoyancy and rugged operation, these barriers also serve well in oil containment scenarios along shorelines and marinas.
Versatile and effective open water booms provides protection from seaweed, aquatic plants, trash, and floating debris in a variety of water conditions. Our floating debris booms are ideal for:
- Blocking floating pollution, debris and seaweed from invading beaches, intakes or protected areas
- Containing floating aquatic plants, debris and pollutants for later cleanup
- Directing floating debris and pollutants away into containment areas
- Containing spills for quick cleanup in open water areas
